New Chinese Migrations

With the rapid economic development of China and the overall shift in the global political economy, there is the emergence of new Chinese on the move. These new Chinese migrants and diasporas are pioneers in the establishment of multiple homes in new geographical locations, the development of new (global and hybrid) Chinese identities, and the creation of new (political, economic and social) inspirations through their mobile lives.

This book identifies and examines new forms and paths of Chinese migration since the 1980s. It provides updated trends of migration movements of the Chinese, including their emergent geographies. With chapters highlighting the diversities and complexities of these new waves of Chinese migration, this volume offers novel insights to enrich our understanding of Asian mobility in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

The book will be of interest to academics examining migration, mobility, diaspora, Chinese identity, overseas Chinese studies and Asian diaspora studies.

The Chinese, as a migrant category, has received much attention amongst scholars in migration studies and migration history. With the rise of China and the overall shift in Asian political economies, there is now an emerging interest to examine new Chinese migrations and new Chinese diasporas.

This volume offers a glimpse into how, why, and where post-1980 Chinese migrants are migrating by examining recent and emergent migration mobilities of Chinese people originating from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries. Specially, this volume includes the cases of mainland Chinese migrants in Australia, New Zealand, West Africa, Middle East, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong; Hong Kong migrants in China and Taiwan; Taiwanese migrants in China; Malaysian Chinese migrants in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Singapore; and Bruneian Chinese migrants in Canada. These new Chinese on the move are pioneers in the establishment of multiple homes in various geographical locations, the development of new (global and hybrid) Chinese identities and the creation of new inspirations (of home, senses of belonging and attachment) through their mobile lives. The diversities and complexities of their migration pathways and experiences challenge existing knowledge on (Chinese) migration, (Chinese) migrant and diaspora communities and transnational mobilities.

Through analyses of new Chinese migrations, this volume sheds light on the cultural politics of Chinese identity, migration aspirations and realities, new and old diasporas, migration and citizenship policies, migrant intermediaries, racism, ethnopolitics, statediaspora relations, transborder governance and international relations. This book will be of interest to academics in a broad range of fields including migration studies, diaspora studies, Chinese overseas, transnationalism, mobilities and governance as well as politics. In the context of Chinas rapidly expanding global engagements, this book offers a variety of reflexive narratives and analyses.
